1 Course SLO Assessment Report - 4-Column El Camino College El Camino: Course SLOs (FA) - Art Course SLOs Lettering and Typography I - SLO #1 Evaluation of Design - Students will be able to evaluate typographic designs for audience, meaning and effectiveness. (Created By El Camino: Course SLOs (FA) - Art) 12/13/2013 Students hand in a written evaluation of a typographic sample provided by the instructor. Students receive a sample of a layout or design incorporating typography about which they are then required to write an essay evaluating the design in terms of the use of typographic hierarchy and emphasis in revealing the meaning of the subject to an audience. Students evaluate the same sample according to intended audience and clarity of meaning. Essay/Written Assignment It is expected that 80% of students will score 75% (satisfactory) or above on this SLO. Rubric These are the criteria that are used to determine a successful assessment of Art ) Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample- Hierarchy 2) Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample- Emphasis 3) Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample- Audience 4) Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample- Meaning 09/27/ students from one section were assessed Summary of Outcomes Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample - Hierarchy 14% Excellent, 42% Good, 28% Satisfactory, 11% Poor, 6% Unsatisfactory Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample - Emphasis 11% Excellent, 47% Good, 36% Satisfactory, 3% Poor, 3% Unsatisfactory Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample - Audience 17% Excellent, 53% Good, 22% Satisfactory, 14% Poor, 6% Unsatisfactory Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample - Meaning 8% Excellent, 39% Good, 33% Satisfactory, 14% Poor, 6% Unsatisfactory The majority of students (over 70% in each criteria) evaluated scored in the Good and Satisfactory range of results, indicating that a few students (ranging from 6% to 20%) failed to successfully integrate the material few students were capable of mastering it beyond a basic understanding (no higher than 17%). Because the distribution of outcomes is relatively even across the entire criterion, it is appropriate to examine teaching strategies that will raise student success in each criteria. Walter Cox 04/01/ Revise teaching strategies by the introduction of the concepts earlier in the semester and reviewing and discussing with students the application of the concepts to the projects they work on them. Critique sessions may successfully be utilized to query students about their understanding and application of the concepts related to the learning outcomes. Students achievement ratings for each criterion: Excellent (90%), Good (80%), Satisfactory (70%), Poor (60%), Unsatisfactory (below 60%) Designing for the World Wide Web - SLO #01 Organized Website - A student will demonstrate the use of HTML, CSS code, and industry-standard web authorizing software in the development of a clearly organized website containing properly prepared images, links, and color. (Created By El Camino: Course SLOs Assessment was attached to the next-to-last assignment of the semester. This gave the students the majority of the semester to learn the necessary skills to meet the class learning objectives. The project required that they use industry-standard web design software (Adobe 02/10/ CRITERIA ASSESSED (Percent of students who scored 70% or better) 1. Understanding and proper use of HTML and CSS code (100%) 2. Proficiency in use of Adobe Dreamweaver web authoring software (95%) 3. Execution of an easily navigable website (95%) 02/10/ Continue to improve students success rate in meeting deadlines by increasing the penalty for late work and being more rigorous in implementation. 10/06/2014 4:42 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive.

2 (FA) - Art) (Summer 2014) Dreamweaver), applying html and css web coding, to create a well-organized, correctly formatted, multi-paged website. The final step required that the student upload their site to their own registered domain web server. Students will be assessed on five different criteria from the class SLO. will be defined in percentages. Student can received one of three assessments for each criteria: 1) They completely met the standard (100%); 2) They adequately met the standard (70%); 3) They did not adequately meet the standard (30%). It is expected that 90% of the students will achieve an overall score of 75% or better. 4. Ability to properly format web images (100%) 5. Correct organization of web files on local and remote servers (90%) While these numbers are high, students must have understood and implemented these core skills by the time in the semester in which this assessment occurred or they will have no chance to succeed in the class. Another factor which should be noted is that one student (out of 21) did not turn in the project, and three turned in the project late. This critical component of the design process (meeting deadlines) is not included in the assessment, but is one area in which I still need to improve student performance. Also, many students only adequately met the standards of assessment (1. 40%; 2. 30%; 3. 20%; 4. 30%; 5. 10%). I will strive to increase the percentage of students who completely meet the assessment standards by pursuing more effective methods of teaching and reinforcing these core principles. 02/10/ Raise percentage of students who completely meet standards for application of core web design skills. To increase understanding of file organization I will create a physical 3- dimensional model to illustrate the concept. Here is a breakdown of the students individual assessment scores (20 students total): 10 students assessed at 100% 2 students assessed at 94% 2 students assessed at 88% 2 students assessed at 82% 1 student assessed at 76% 1 student assessed at 68% 1 student assessed at 62% 1 student assessed at 54% 17 out of 20 students (85%) achieved a total assessment score of 75% or better, which is slightly less than my expectation of 90%. By finding new, more effective ways to teach the core criteria of webpage design, as reflected in the class SLO, I will strive to raise the student level of success.

3 of this course, students will be able to create compositions utilizing image manipulation techniques and creative invention in order to deconstruct, reformulate, and translate single and groups of objects into effective compositions employing the principles and elements of pictorial organization. (Created By El Camino: Course SLOs (FA) - Art) (Spring 2017) submitted by each student, that reflect imagemanipulation techniques and contain: At least two 18 x 24 improvisational compositions that represent the integration of an invented grid structure, assorted threedimensional forms, and various invented textures, tones, shapes, and patterns using black and white drawing media. At least two 18 x 24 improvisational compositions that represent the integration of multiple views of a single object in conjunction with invented textures, tones, shapes, and patterns using colored pencil on colored paper. Portfolio 41.29% scored a 3 (Good) 25.28% scored a 2 (Satisfactory) 00.00% scored a 1 (Unsatisfactory) 00.00% scored a 0 (Failing) Summarize the patterns observed in the data. Overall, 100% of the students assessed scored satisfactory or better in their ability to utilize image manipulation techniques, creative invention, and the elements of pictorial organization to create compositions based on a combination of formal analysis and improvisation. Although approximately 75% of students assessed scored good or excellent, 25% demonstrated only minimal ability to use the techniques and concepts taught in Art 210. What were the most important findings from the data? 12/10/ Small group critiques/demonstrations for students having difficulty understanding and implementing improvisational concepts and techniques taught in Art 210. The data indicates that even though the current teaching strategies are effective for 75% of students assessed, there is a need to determine optional strategies for the 25% of students that performed at the satisfactory or minimal performance level.

4 Students then receive a body of copy that they are required to format within the designated parameters of a defined audience, page format, use of color and images to demonstrate the practical ability of typography to create hierarchy and emphasis in the pursuit of creating meaning and effective communication with the audience. Exam/Test/Quiz It is expected that 80% of students will score 75% (satisfactory) or above on this SLO. Rubric These are the criteria that are used to determine a successful assessment of Art ) Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample- Hierarchy 2) Critical Evaluation of Typographic Sample- Emphasis 3) Demonstration of Hierarchy 4) Demonstration of Emphasis Demonstration of Emphasis 80% Excellent, 20% Good, 0% Satisfactory, 0% Poor, One hundred percent of students met the objectives, however there was a noticeable dip in outcomes when it came to students ability to demonstrate the use of Hierarchy. 60% of students scored in the Good category and 40% scored in the Satisfactory category, indicating that they do not fully grasp the material in its application. Walter Cox Students achievement ratings for each criterion: Excellent (90%), Good (80%), Satisfactory (70%), Poor (60%), Unsatisfactory (below 60%) Jewelry Fabrication - SLO #1 Synthesis of Design Principles - Students will be able to synthesize, and apply the principles of jewelry design fabrication and appropriate intermediatelevel practices to create an original finished jewelry object. (Created By El Camino: Course SLOs (FA) - Art) The student will use specific design principles and tools to create a wearable jewelry object It is expected 85% of the students projects will be assessed at "very good" or "average". 11/28/ These are the assessment criteria that used: Design and Visual Quality (application of proportion and balance) Fit (ability to size the ring within a specific tolerance of one quarter size) Finish (quality and consistency of selected surface type) 28 students from 3 sections were assessed. Design and Visual Quality: Excellent 6% Good 39% Satisfactory 50% Poor 6% Fit: Excellent 30% Good 46% Satisfactory 12% Poor 12% Finish: Excellent 14% Good 39% Satisfactory 35% Poor 10% The data indicates that overall 90.3% of the students achieved 75% or greater for this SLO. 16.6% performed at the Excellent level, 41.3% at the Good level, 32% at the Satisfactory level and 9.3 at the Poor level. With 90% of the students achieving a 75% or higher score, the results show that most students are able to comprehend and apply the skill and design challenges 09/11/ As a strategy to increase student scores in the Design and Visual Quality category, the institution can enhance student success by providing wi-fi to the classroom. Access to resources on the internet have become key and widely used teaching tool. The studio can provide a large video screen in the classroom with internet connections to enhance student motivation and research. Program/College Support 01/31/ I will generate additional handouts that would further specify in detail the requirements and methods for excellence in design and craftsmanship. 10/06/2014 4:42 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive.

5 of the assessment instrument. However the assessment data identifies an area of Fit with the highest percentage of students assessed as Excellent (30%), and also the highest assessment for Poor (12%) of the assessed criteria. Perhaps this can be attributed to the fact that proper Fit requires carefully measurement and a small amount of math. Students scoring Poor likely made errors in one or both of these operations. Also the level of Excellent for the Design and Visual quality is lowest of the three categories. Strategies need to be developed to raise this score. Irene Mori 1 - Please provide the criteria for "very good" and "average" 2 - Please provide an interpretation of data in the results section Change one of the action dates to a future date 01/31/ Students enrolled in Art 274 have one semester of previous experience in the jewelry fabrication medium. Mastery of the many skills required can only be achieved through time and practice. Although 90% of the students scored satisfactory or above, in the professional field Excellent is the expected level. To achieve this, the student needs more course levels and access to Open Studio Lab time. 09/11/ Finally, the institution can support student success by maintaining adequate heating and cooling within the classroom environment. Repair or replacement of the HVAC unit in the classroom has been requested and is an on going issue, current strategies have not resulted in a solution. Given the existing (and understandable) limitations, a new approach needs to be taken by the institution to solve this very basic problem. Program/College Support Life Sculpture - SLO #1 Terminology and Processes - Students will be able to understand and explain the terminology, processes, and historical and contemporary concepts related to the creation of figurative sculpture works at an intermediate level. (Created By El Camino: Course SLOs (FA) - Art) Through assessed demonstrations, students will show competency, at an intermediate level, in the terminology and processes as it relates to life sculpture. The assessment tools will be: Armature design and construction, clay, to build the basic form., including: Gesture, proportion, surface details. 12/05/ On a score of 0-4; 57% of the students scored a 4 25% of the students scored a 3 18% of the students scored a 2 In total 82% of the students had good results. None 12/05/ For the 18% with modest growth, more in class discussion and one on one dialog may be required. 10/06/2014 4:42 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive. Page 5 of 7

6 Each student is assessed on a scale from 1. Poor 2. Average 3. Good 4.

The Target outcome is for 80% of the students to score in the 3 to 4 point range Russell McMillin None Please provide target for success and an interpretation of data in the appropriate box above. I think the standard may need to be raised. I will determine what the standard should be after the next round of SLO testing. 12/05/ I think the standard may need to be raised. I will determine what the standard should be after the next round of SLO testing. No further action is needed in this section until data is taken again in 2017 SLO Assessment Process 09/11/ This assessment was for 1 class with 21 students participating. Of these, 11 students scored 4 points 6 students scored 3 points 4 students scored 2 points No students scored 1 point In total 17 students out of 21 scored a 3 or higher; Which is 81% SLO/PLO Assessment Process Life Sculpture - SLO #3 Design, Manufacturing, and Finishing - Students will be able to show intermediate-level competency in the design, manufacturing, and finishing techniques in figurative sculpture. (Created By El Camino: Course SLOs (FA) - Art) (Spring 2017) Through assessed demonstrations, students will show competency, at an intermediate level, in the design, manufacturing, and finishing techniques as it relates to life sculpture. The assessment tools will be: Armature design and construction, clay, to build the basic form., including: Gesture, 12/05/ Based on a 0-4 scale; 48% scored a 4 45% scored a 3 11% scored a 2 This also well exceeded the 70%. I will re-assess this goal during the next SLO. 12/05/ No new action plan needed at this time. I will compare these results with those of the next SLO, and determine where the 70% rate should be raised. SLO Assessment Process 10/06/2014 4:42 PM Generated by TracDat a product of Nuventive.
